Itinerary Learn the real story. Let your local indigenous guide bring the spectacular landscape of Litchfield National Park to life on this intimate, micro-group day tour.
Finniss River Crossing
Take the back roads from your Darwin hotel to the Finniss River and beyond. Stretch your legs and learn about indigenous river life in this shady riverside stop.
Woolaning Spring
Across the Finniss River you’ll enter owner and head guide, Tess Atie's, family's country. You'll visit heritage places associated with Tess’s family. You’ll be exclusive visitors to beautiful Woolaning Spring and the remains of the sawmill camp her grandfather built there 60 years ago. In nature's forest dining room, by crystal clear spring waters, you’ll enjoy a sumptuous lunch of local game meats.
Wangi Falls
After lunch you'll visit spectacular Wangi Falls, a popular dry season swimming spot and a special place for Aboriginal women. Cool off with a swim or explore the nearby forest, a seasonal home to a restless colony of flying foxes.
Blyth Homestead on the Reynolds River Track
The Reynolds River Track and two creek crossings will lead you to heritage-listed Blyth Homestead. Tess's uncle Max Sargent and Aunty Esther grew up here in this tiny, rough-hewn homestead built about 1928. You’ll get a taste of life in the days of working tin mines and cattle, carving out a living in this rugged environment.
Florence Falls
No visit to Litchfield is complete without seeing Florence Falls from the plateau-top lookout. For the keen there is another opportunity for a refreshing dip in the clean, cool water of Florence Creek.
Batchelor
Stop for an ice cream in the pretty town of Batchelor, established in the 1950s to serve the nearby Rum Jungle mine and now home to the Batchelor Institute, focussing on the educational needs of indigenous youth.
